We will be collecting "wish list" items to donate to Operation Gratitude, the 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-based organization that sends care packages to our military and first responders. We will have a container at our board of directors meeting in September in which you can drop off your donated items. If you are interested in donating, please contact Sarah at sarah@pcoc.org.

Here is a list of items that Operation Gratitude is in need of: 

  • All-purpose wipes (single & 30-ct. packs or less)
  • Batteries (AA and/or AAA)
  • Deodorant (travel size, non-aerosol)
  • Drink mix (Individual serving packets)
  • Gum
  • Hand warmers
  • Jerky (individual bags)
  • Lip balm
  • Pencils (mechanical preferred)
  • Playing cards
  • Powder (travel size)
  • Puzzle books (7" x 10" preferred size)
  • Sewing kits (travel size)
  • Socks (black, crew length)
  • Sunscreen (travel size, non-aerosol)
  • Handmade "With Love" items
    • Cool ties

If you wish to purchase wish list items online, here is the link to the Amazon Wish List.  

*Please remember to enclose a personal letter of appreciation for the receiver of the care package. 

In addition, the cost to ship one care package is typically around $15. At our September board of directors meeting, we will have a container where you can drop your pocket change to be sent to Operation Graditude to help cover the cost of shipping the care packages.
